OPTIMIZATION PROJECT REVIEW

In 2014, the choice was made within a local commercial organization to focus on "Strategic Quality & Compliance", with the initial focus on harmonizing various expertise within the domains of quality and compliance. The implementation of a "One Voice" on regulatory requirements resulted in significant reduction of time lost due to repetitive discussions and inconsistent advice. Through close collaboration between all involved, a working method was developed in which quality and compliance were integrated from the earliest stages of projects. This early involvement made it possible to include advice from various domains in the development process. This open coordination provided space to explore new areas, which in turn created opportunities for more innovative projects.

Christel is the driving force behind an innovative working method in setting up projects within the organization. Her determination and strategic thinking have led to a more efficient way of working and opened the door to innovation that previously seemed unattainable. Her unique talents, from creative solutions to pragmatic implementation, have been key to our success.

With her infectious enthusiasm and excellent communication skills, she managed to involve all levels of our organization in this groundbreaking project. From management to operational teams and from compliance to sales, Christel made sure that everyone felt involved and accountable for the success of our initiative.

Her people-oriented approach and flexibility have ensured that this initiative has not only become an integral part of our organization, but also a benchmark for others. Christel always focuses on 'how can we make it work', which has made her an invaluable contribution to our success and growth.
